Best for Removing Excess Oil
Murad InstaMatte Oil Control Mask, $38

Though breakouts can be more common if you're superstressed out, experiencing PMS or having a reaction to a product that doesn't mesh with your system, a common culprit of acne is oil. Because it lays heavy on your skin and can be difficult to thoroughly remove, you need a product that works overtime for you. Try this 3-minute mask that not only absorbs the oil pockets, but also makes pores appear smaller. Especially during the summer, you can use this as a cleanser for daily oil-control, too.
